Brad Pitt Ready With "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - Early Review And Movie Trailer

Hot off the heels of his latest film "Burn After Reading", starring Pitt, George Clooney and Tilda Swinton, Brad Pitt is switching gears in anticipation of his next film due in theaters December 25.

"The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" is an odd movie that will make you cry and scratch your head. The film stars Pitt, Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett, and was directed by David Fincher of "Se7en" fame.

Pitt's character tells people, "I was born under unusual circumstances", and nothing could be further from the truth. The main plot of the film tells the story of a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences.

Based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the movie features Benjamin Button, played by Brad Pitt, as and old man who physically ages backward. He is born an old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby, and then finally vanishes from the earth.

At age 50, he falls in love with a 30-year-old woman (Cate Blanchett), and must come to terms with the relationship as they literally grow in opposite directions. The movie and soundtrack are eerie, setting the stage for what could be a strange film to be released on Christmas Day.

But it is a gripping film, and well worth the trip to the theater to see it. We suspect the award buzz will start the day it is released.
